The 23-year-old, named as Harvey Hoyte-Bone from Farnham in Surrey, is in intensive care with one leg fractured in several places after plummeting around 70 feet.

His fall shortly before 4am on Monday, after a night out on the Spanish island drinking with a friend, was broken by a sunshade on a lower balcony.

“It was a miracle he survived,” said a spokesman from the Civil Guard in the island’s capital Palma.

“His fall from his seventh floor terrace was broken first by a sunshade on a lower terrace. Then he crashed through a palm tree and slid off a canopy before hitting concrete.”

He is being treated at the San Espases hospital in Palma where his condition was described as “not life-threatening”. . .
